NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The authors bring extreme climbing to life. . . . Perhaps no author can rationalize why some choose to risk their lives . . . for the thrill of conquering a mountain. The Ledge comes perilously close and tells a ripping true story at the same time.The Denver PostIn June 1992, best friends Jim Davidson and Mike Price stood atop Washingtons Mount Rainier, celebrating what they hoped would be the first of many milestones in their lives as passionate mountaineers. Then their triumph turned tragic when a cavein plunged them deep inside a glacial crevassethe pitchblack, icewalled hell of every climbers nightmares.An avid adventurer since youth, Davidson was a seasoned climber at the time of the Rainier ascent. But the harrowing free fall left him challenged by natures grandeur at its most unforgiving. Trapped on a narrow frozen shelf, deep below daylight, he desperately battled crumbling ice, snow that threatened to bury him alive, and crippling fear of the inescapable chasm belowall the while struggling to save his fatally injured friend. Finally, alone, with little equipment and rapidly dwindling hope, he confronted a fateful choice: the certainty of a slow, lonely death or the near impossibility of an agonizing climb for life. A story of heartstopping adventure, heartfelt friendship, fleeting mortality, and implacable nature, The Ledge chronicles the elation and grief, dizzying heights and punishing depths, of a journey to hardwon wisdom.Plunges readers into a dark, icy chasm from which escape seems impossible. Then it reveals the strength it takes to look up, and to start climbing.Jim Sheeler, winner of the Pulitzer Prize and author of the National Book Award finalist Final SaluteHow [Davidson] rescued himself is the core of The Ledge, and its most gripping part. The physical effort and will involved are astonishing.The Plain DealerA moving portrait of friendship and loss.The Wall Street Journal
